MacConnection shipping iPod mini worldwide

By Dennis Lloyd ● Sunday, February 22, 2004

iLounger Thomas Rai has informed us that Apple Specialist MacConnection.com is now shipping iPod minis to the United Kingdom or other non U.S. addresses. We’ve called MacConncetion and spoke with a representative and they confirm that they will ship the iPod mini to any UK or other address. Apple is scheduled to release the iPod mini to worldwide markets in April, but for those who don’t want to wait can order through MacConnection. Contact MacConnection for shipping costs.

Editor’s note: According to reader’s comments, MacConnection stopped shipping iPod minis to international addresses at the request of Apple.

Just phoned them up and they said they wouldn’t ship an iPod mini to the UK, but do you think if it’s an online order they would still process it? I really want a mini.

Thomas, how much did they charge you for shipping? I went to the checkout and there were three shipping options, but none for overseas delivery.

If they ship to Australia and it doesn’t cost too much, I might just place an order.
